CategoriesTexting & Internet Slang

MYOB stands for Mind your own business, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Blunt request to stop prying or interfering, used in texts and comments. Between siblings and friends it is often playful, but aimed at a stranger it is a clear brush-off.

Example: Who I'm texting is MYOB, little brother, so stop reading over my shoulder.

Usage notes

Common among kids and teens since the 1980s, before texting existed. MYOB is also the name of an Australian business software company, unrelated to the slang. Rude when aimed at an adult or colleague.
